ABOUT ME
Keen on music, chilling and conversation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I bring the vibe.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've stayed on various couches, armchairs, towels on the floor and hammocks with my buddies in New Zealand and Europe, now I'm looking to branch out to China and the rest of the world! I've also had couch surfers at my place in Wellington so I've seen both sides of the experience. I am a tidy guest who will respect the space like my own and keep it clean!
Interests
I love listening to music, mainly seeing live music, and I've played guitar for over 10 years. Love being outside in the sunshine with good company, beers and tunes. Enjoy exploring nature. Love getting to know people and learn what they're about. Also enjoy a good book and a cuppa tea. Peace. Travel of course, and the lovely people, places and memories that come with it. Oh how could I forget, I LOVE FOOD. I'm always interested in learning about Chinese history and culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A thousand people pillow fighting in Krakow Square, the first sun of the new year greeting us on the sands of Mahia, fields of apocalyptic flaming tents at Reading Festival, disgruntled prozzies in Berlin, bathing blissfully naked in the Mediterranean Sea, being crowd surfed to the stage of various gigs and losing the plot, learning about China and my roots through its interesting, lovely people.
